There's even the possibility that, in the future, some users will experience access to the web nearing 1Gbps with an HD movie downloading in under 40 seconds.

Speaking about the news Emily Eavis at Glastonbury Festival said: “We’re extremely pleased to have EE back again, providing the best possible network for our rural site.

“And it’s great that we’re going to be one of the first places in the UK to offer 5G.”

And Pete Jeavons, Marketing and Communications Director at BT and EE, added: “Smartphones have become a festival must-have as we’ve seen each year with more and more data being consumed at Glastonbury Festival.

“As the long-standing technology partner to this iconic event, we are committed to building a network powerful enough to cope with this huge demand.

“With the introduction of 5G this year, we are able to trial this new technology at Worthy Farm and make history as the UK’s first 5G-connected festival.”
